Good points but lets give the poster what he wants and focus on the negatives in sound and call it as we hear it.

Good Luck
Oh, while you're there, do a search on GR Research Paradox or GR Research AV1. Very popular speakers with a very loyal following and they are supposed to sound superb and some even compare them to Dynaudio 1.3's and other $2-$3,000 speakers. The best part is the price. I'll fill you in personally once my completed pair of AV1+'s arrive.
I didn't like the Diva 2.1. They are great for the money $399 but I didn't think it competed with speakers in the $1000 range. I had a budget of about $1000 so when I got these I was unhappy because I knew I could do better (more detail and more air/presences/soundstage) with more money.
Show me a speaker that sounds as good for $1k and I'll eat my hat.
What's the point of this thread anyway? To seek out negative opinions. What's next? The "Does anyone not like SVS subwoofers thread?". Please. It's all just opinion anyway. The vast majority of folks think SVS and Divas are fantastic value for the money. What? Are you going to try and find fault to talk yourself out of taking the risk to try them? If so, maybe best to find a pair to listen to (they are out there) and not take the chance. It's a gamble anyway you look at it. But looking for negative comments doesn't accomplish anything as they can always be found. I wouldn't like it if it was aimed at Klipcsh or Paradigm or any other brand that people are wildly enthusiastic about. It's about one step up from "troll bait" as far as I'm concerned.
m guilty of giving a totally emotional review of my sub that I purchased and believe me, it could've been a little more revealing in terms of trade offs and any negatives that may concern the reader. I don't know how much that review may or maynot have helped anyone intrested in reading my rants but I have taken notice of that and if I happen to write another review of another product I buy, I will take note to be a little more objective and balanced when it comes to sharing information.
Ah. Okay I hear ya. It's hard to be objective sometimes. I was very wary of saying anything slightly negative about my new SVS subwoofer... It's not perfect but it's close and I think I told the truth. I candy coated it as much as possible, but I told what I feel is the truth about it. I figure what's the point of reading these user reviews if they aren't going to tell you everything. Warts and all...
Some reviewers love everything. Their opinion doesn't mean crap to me. If somebody that paid their own hard earned money points out a negative then it means something. It's not easy to do, but again, why bother posting a review if it's not honest? It's one reason I read these types of boards
That makes the Divas more interesting to me. Do you have any links comparing the Divas and the Dul'cets? I searched a lot back when I heard that speaker, but couldn't find anything that wasn't in Chinese.
The best thing to do is drop one of the folks at av123.com an email. They can tell you everything there is to know about the whole company. The avsforums.com website also has alot of information on the Divas. You could also try doing a search on Dul`cet in that forum. I have a set of 6.1's coming in tomorrow and plan to do an extensive review of them once they have some time to break in...
, but look at me now...trusty 3M.6016 cloth in hand gently dusting those endcaps like every three days!
